In Vitro Models Used in Cariology Mineralisation Research-A Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dental caries remains a significant global health problem. One of the fundamental mechanisms underlying the development and progression of dental caries is the dynamic process of demineralisation/remineralisation. In vitro models have played a critical role in advancing our understanding of this process and identifying potential interventions to prevent or arrest dental caries. This literature review aims to provide a structured oversight of in vitro mineralisation models which have been used to study the tooth demineralisation/remineralisation process.

Methods

Publications from 2019 to 2023 were screened to identify articles reporting the use of in vitro models to study the demineralisation/remineralisation of tooth caries. The included studies were methodologica
